www.DellaFH.com On Monday, April 5, 2021 Joseph Edelstein,
loving husband of Esther, passed away at the
age of 79. Born in Philadelphia, Joe gradu-
ated from Olney High School and Columbia
Business College. He had a passion for
sports and followed all the Philadelphia
teams. A devoted Philadelphia A’s fan, he
transferred that allegiance to the Phillies and
reveled in their World Series wins – and in
the Eagle’s Super Bowl victory. But his
greatest pleasure in life was spending time
with his devoted wife. Their favorite vaca-
tion was a cruise – he was a longtime mem-
ber of both the Captain’s Club and the Crown
and Anchor Society. Joe made friends easily
with his infectious smile and sweet disposi-
tion. His kindness and compassionate spirit
could be seen from an early age. As a young
man he volunteered with an ambulance
corps; when his father had a stroke, he re-
mained at home to help his mother care for
him and assisted his father in maintaining in-
come during that time. He showed that same
devotion to his wife of 43 years and exten-
ded it to her family as well. He is survived by
many loving friends and family members who
miss him dearly. Donations in Joe’s memory
